I can totally say that i would never have gastric bypass..I am 1000% percent happy with my band...I am happy on the fact that i can keep it the rest of my life and have a reminder on what is right and wrong. ..A little fill here and there and you would be back on track..Please i wouldn't want to die.. Kristen

I just wanted to give everyone (((Hugs))))..I am single..and even though i really wish i had someone special..i would rather go through this WLS alone then be with someone and break up.. Love ya all.. Kristen

For BF i have Two scramble Egg beaters and 2 slices of bacon For lunch i have salad with grilled chicken and FF italian dressing For dinner..I have whatever is left over..But i DO love having Special K cereal and FF milk. It holds me over.. I try not to snack but if i am craving something sugary i have a toosie roll pop

lol...Alright..So my 23rd B-day is 08/08/06..I was thinking about getting my eye brow pierced?..and then i was thinking on 08/10/06 (my 1 year surgery anniversary) to get my tongue pierced..I need thoughts :) Does anyone have anything pierced and did it hurt? what are the rules after getting your tongue pierced? liquids for a week?? I am still iffy about the tongue one but its something i really want (isn't it a turn on for guys? ) What do you want to get pierced??? hehehe Kristen

I am going to have everthing done on me..I spent 20+ years FAT (i am soon to be 23 years old) its about time i get to have some ME time and actually feel and LOOK good.. I don't know what i am going to go in what order..I def want a TT first..(I have and always had a bad rash underneath my skin flap...) Kristen

I am seeing a LEO trend... Aug 8th Here

I have to say that due to family issued (death in family etc) from Jan to June I only exercised maybe twice a month. Between then i only lost 2 lbs.. I just started exercising regularly from End of June to now and i have already lost 8 lbs..I am so upset and i really wish i MADE myself Exercise those 6 months... Exercise is key.. Kristen

I was banded two days after my 22nd Birthday..I was the one of the Youngest patients my Doc had.. (now i am not the youngest..He just banded a 17 year old.

I am on my space too.. Its under my email liberty2003@hvc.rr.com add me :bananapartyhat:

Yep I excercised...10 Min this morning on treadmill and 10 min this evening.. I burned a total of 110 cals... I am trying to work myself up to doing it longer..I am taking baby steps LOL Kristen

I would say that i have to join this club too.. I have been fairly good this year. I am down 68 lbs *4lbs is the last week* But from april to June i maintained the same weight, (up two lbs, down two lbs).. I just restarted excercising regularly so we shall see if this will help.. My year anniversary is 8/10/06...I was hoping to be farther down..But i am happy what i have lost so far.. Kristen

I had my Gall-Bladder out when i was a senior in high school (it was caused by all the damn Chinese food i ate)..I was 17 and the surgeon said i was the youngest patient he had for gall bladder removal Kristen

Ok, so i woke up with a really bad cold. I kinda feel like i am getting Bronchius or an upper respitory infection..So i feel like crap as it is and i was sitting @ work and my doctor called. She was like i got your blood test back from when you went to urgent care the other day. I am increasing your thryoid medicine because its way to high again. She was like this is something that can't wait. We need to try to get this under control. She also sd that my WBC (white blook count) is elevated which means i have an infection. She even called in my prescription to the pharmacy because she was like this can't wait. She wants me back in 1-2 months and if it doesn't show some sort of it going down she wants me to get a thryoid scan...Like i don't have enought stuff to worry about..

Wow...I actually am feeling a little better about this whole thing. :biggrin1: I must have been depressed due to PMS. Tdy i took my neices sleigh riding. OMG..1 1/2 hrs in the FREEZING cold and it was still snowing. I had SOOOO much fun. I ache all over the place. I got plenty of exercise tdy. I still would like to work on the treadmill tonight..I haven't touched that thing in 3 weeks. I am happy i have lost 57lbs. Going up and down the hill sleigh riding was easier then it would of been if i was still 334.lbs. I found it easier to breathe. I got winded a few times but that was because i was chasing my neices around. :mad: I am going to do this!!!! ONE DAY @ A TIME!....I can't wait to get weighed in march! I want to be down @ least another 3 lbs so that i can make it to 60lbs lost. More would be good. I bought salad and soup for the week for work. I really need to focus on my food and exercise! Exercise is the KEY!!! so..I just got back from using the treadmill...I did 48 min and 30 seconds. I burned 240 cal and walked 2.06 miles...WOOOHOOO This is the Longest i actually got myself to walk at a time. I don't know something just kept pushing me...I found a comfortable speed and incline and the rest was history. I feel great!!!!!!!

I have been having a VERY tough 3 weeks. :think My sister and her husband are separating and getting divorced. Its been very stressful and i have been going back to my OLD habits. :angry I am very depressed and been eating and eating and eating and not exercising. I keep making excuses and i really can't get back into the swing of things. My uncle's Cancer came back and he needs a bone marror transplant and we can't find a donor. We had one but that person backed out. :think The doctor already mentioned that he will die if he doesn't get one. :mad: So lets just say the stress level around here is HUGE. I keep thinking Oh one more day won't hurt. Yeah well one more day has turned into 21 days. I don't think i have gained much which is good but i can't seem to do anything right. I want to loose weight. I want to become healther,I DON'T want to fail. I keep dreaming about making it to goal. I am only down 57 lbs, My sister is already down 65+..I have a slow thyroid but i can't blame everything on that. I do get some protein but i don't think its enough. I have 127lbs left to go. I keep feeling like its never going to get there. I DON'T want to be fat the rest of my life. I have dealt with weight 20+ years and i can't stand it anymore. I want to have boyfriends. hell i want some FRIENDS. Ugh... I have a trip coming up in May. Its for work. I would like to hopefully be at least another 1-2 clothing sizes down. Right now i am in a size 26. I want to be at least another 25-50lbs down. I think i can do this if i stick my mind to it! i need some encouragement. Bigtime.
